stdio by default; documented SSE and Streamable HTTP modes

## Tools

- **remember**: Store text or file content as session or persistent memory.
- **recall**: Search stored memory.
- **forget**: Delete a selected dataset, item, or owned memory.
- **cognify_status**: Check background ingestion progress; documented as discoverable rather than pinned.
